Complaint about the moderators

The moderator Robert Martin23 just nuked my post on the PDF forum with this explanation:

@ bluecyclist64 You might have valid reasons to be angry or have a grievance, but that doesn't give you the right to use profanity and threats on a public forum, which is why the post was removed. You are welcome to write a post without insults or swearing, and it will remain. Consider this a Warning.

This entry is not open for comment.

Well, I’m calling on that moderator to just publish my deleted post right here in the open. If there really is a legitimate reason to penalize me, then fine—I'll take it.

But if this is just an instance of some reckless, arrogant moderator acting on a whim, I think it’s high time we saw that too.

To be blunt, I'm dealing with equipment failures that are stalling my actual work, and meanwhile, this guy is busy deleting my posts.

So, let's see if he actually had a point or not.

Alright, Robert Martin23 sent me the original message via PM:

I'm looking for some help with a Route 66 folding saw I picked up at Home Depot.

Before I head down there to give them hell, maybe someone here can actually help me out, because the manual they provided isn't even for this model, and there’s absolutely nothing useful online.

So, I managed to figure out almost everything except for one "little detail"—I have no clue how to raise this damn handle, and I can't for the life of me find where it's jammed or what's blocking it.

To make matters worse, I was deciding between two similar saws, and the clerk pushed this one on me, claiming it was "professional grade."

Now, could someone please explain what the hell is wrong with my attitude? Am I being a bit blunt and rude? Perhaps. But honestly, who wouldn't be after getting screwed over like this? 🙂

EDIT: As far as I know, swearing on the forum isn't against the rules. When I say I'm going to give them hell, I don't mean I'm going to go on a rampage; I just mean I'm going to tell them exactly where to shove it and return this damn saw.

My response to your message can be found here.

Furthermore, I did politely request that you resubmit your post without the profanity—a request you naturally chose to ignore—and I even provided a link detailing how to properly do so.

Yet, you persist in your stubborn ways...

Forgive me, but I fail to see any reason for this anger.

To be honest, my frustration stems from a simple lack of desire to repeat myself. I have no interest in sitting down to write the exact same thing for a second time, especially when my previous post wasn't even problematic. There wasn't any reason—none at all—for it to be removed in the first place.

I’m honestly pretty frustrated. I came here looking for some actual advice because my work has ground to a complete halt, but instead of helping me get things moving again, you just threw a wrench in the gears.

I am requesting a formal review of the higher-level actions taken in this matter.

Alright, we have an agreement—you can have the key. 👍
